Beginning in the 1930s, Josef Albers paid more than a dozen visits to Mexican archaeological sites, picking up source material for his practice. This exhibition, covering Albers’s rarely shown early paintings, photo collages, and works on paper, documents how pre-Columbian geometry and imagery subtly shaped his abstract canvases.
